Some time ago we were working on a
guidebook for kayaking in California. Unfortunately some people are of
the opinion that kayaking here should be like surfing, you have to
check in with locals and be a cool kid to get their blessing. They
threw a wrench in the works and things came to a pause for some time.
I'm of the belief that we don't have any special rights just because we
were lucky enough to be born here, and am back at working on a
guidebook. It will be a long path with minimal reward, but it's one of
those projects that simply needs to be done. The weather is making it
the right year for this project too. The current plan is for a book
that focuses just on the Sierra Nevada and is specifically geared
towards people not from the area.
